Our RYA First Aid training is a one-day course designed specifically for those who spend time on the water. Unlike standard first aid classes, it focuses on situations you may encounter while boating—whether that’s on lakes, rivers, estuaries, or offshore trips. The course is approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and meets the mandatory first aid requirements for RYA qualifications such as Coastal Skipper, Yachtmaster, and Advanced Powerboat, as well as for a range of commercial marine roles.
